TUESDAY, OCTOBER, '22, 1861 Speech of lion. Edgar A. Cowan. Mil, &O AR A. COWAN, one of the new United States Senators from Pennsylvania, recently delivered a speech at a Mount Plea sant (Westmoreland county) Union meeting, It fully confirms the favorable opinions which have been expressed of his ability as a pro found reasoner and accomplished orator, and justifies the belief that, on the floor of the Senate, he will prove a worthy representative of this great State. In considering the ques tion of our probable success in suppressing the rebellion, he states that no revolution has hitherto succeeded unless those who were en gaged in it were sincerely convinced that they were resisting tyranny and avenging wrong, and that there is " not a man in the Confede rate army who, if put upon his oath, could say that the National Government has evei Injured, in any way, a single rebel ;" that the people of the South, at the elections in which they last had the opportunity to freely and un reservedly express their opinions, virtually voted for the Union in nearly all the States except South Carolina; that the whole strength of the Secession movement in the outset was derived from the particular time at which it was set on foot, because then an ex citing Presidential election hail just been doh eluded, in which all the Southern candidates bad been defeated; that an almost total mis apprehension of the true aims and purposes of the North existed there at that period, and that, eventually, these misrepresentations will be understood; and that .the nearly entire unanimity of the North, together with the su perior means and resources of the loyal States, should, in a mere military point of - view, ena ble them to triumph over a foe of inferior power. After paying a deserved tribute of applause to the Northern Democrats who have 440 " te strangle the serpent of Seces sion in its cradle," he delivered the following eloquent invocation to the young men of our country to rally to the defence of our Govern ment in this trying hour of national peril " The true question, however, is, arc we willing to sustain the effort now eliding to compel obe dience to the Constitution, and laws? Or are we going to shrink from the magnitude of the task, and idly trust ourselves to chance for the future? Are we about to rise in our might in defenee of the Government of our fathers? Or are we tamely to sit down beside their graves and allow it to be destroyed ? Let the young men of the country answer, and upon that answer depends the result. I cannot think they will lose this glorious opportunity to enrol themselves on the lists of fame, by sustaining the national honor and the national fame. What Greek was there who was not proud to say that he bad fought for his country against the Persian at Marathon, Platea, or Salamis? Have we no immortal band to devote themselves for us as the Spartans did at Thermopylai ? Have wo no Leonidas to lead them ? Where was the Roman who did not beast of haviiig performed his part in resisting Hannibal or Pyrrhus in the great battles upon which the fate of the Republic depended ? Are our youth afraid of losing their rings and jewelry, and of having them poured out by the bushel in triumph upon the floor of the rebel Congress by the messengers of Beauregard? Are th e y a f ra id of the scars they may receive while fighting under our flag? If they are, then we have "lost our breed of noble bloods," and the whip of tyranny must again resound to lash us into the proper estimate of the liberties we are about to lose. " Dishonorable graves" are yawning avai - where around us—are there cowards who prefer them ? If so, then the men of the Revolution died childless, and the heri tage of glory, which descended from them, has fallen upon serfs_ Are there none in New Eng land who remember Lexington and Bunker Hill? Has New York no traditions of Saratoga? Is not Trenton still in New Jersey to remind her children of the crossing of the Delaware ? Has Pennsylva nia lost the recollection of Germantown or Brandy wine? Surely not ! as long as men have Wi t tjol l itt4o4.l 1414: taiti story ortiniss"; wits. it via dieation of the mighty dead who atruggled for them then against the most formidable power on the earth, and achieved for us that which has ennobled, or ought to have ennobled us—lndependence. Still the young Republic was baptized in the blood of another war. Is the heroism of that one forgotten too ? Have the sons of those who fought at North Point submitted to mobs and treason, and the heirs of Barney's glory yielded to a reign of Terror? Surely the people of the Southern States will not allow any longer this wicked crusade against the Union their fathers did so much to create, and suf fered so much to preserve I Will not the loyal men there soon recur to the past for guidance as to the future ? Have we all degenerated away from the heroic, till we are the prey of thieves and rob bers? I trust that we have not yet fallen so low as to disgrace ourselves without an effort, because if we fail in this war and this cause, then we are a by-word and a reproach among the nations, and unworthy the respect of even the meanest of them all. No men ever before had so glorious an opportunity to adventure themselves in the battle-field, nor ever had a chance so fair, a cause so just, or a foe so wicked. We have had crusades to rescue the holy land from the rasp of the infidel, we have had holy wars in which one religion defended itself against another, but this is of far more moment than either ; our land is sa cred, too, but as the home of freemen, and our war is holy because it is a battle for the tolerance of all religions and the freedom of all speech and all be- Fiefs, Every young man who enlists in our cause ' rises to the dignity of the old soldier of the ROW:- lie ; he puts himself upon the same footing with the soldiers of the first and second wars with Great ' Britain ; every young:nem who refuses will one day blush to explain to his inquiring children why he too was not in the fray and eager for the glorious strife in defeildieg the trnien against the great re. bellion. 4 ' Let all men, then, arouse themselves and re spond to the call of their common country, by for getting all feuds and past differences, and standing together as one man, shoulder to shoulder, in her defence. If we all do so, the great heart of the world will be cheered, 'humanity wilt have more hope, and then will be a general jubilee of the na tions. On the other hand, if by hatred, passion, and prejudice, we divide and differ, struggle feebly and fail, then the great battle is ended, and the oa rs/vit.,' of the people to govern themselves is settled against them for ages. No more Washingtons, Adamses, Jetfersons, Clays, and Jacksons will rise up to fight the battles of the poor and lowly, but the shades of the mighty dead of past ages, who loved their race, will come to the minds and imagi nations of futures pattlata t and say, in tones "of solemn and sepulchral warning, ' Cease, cease ; it is all vain and idle; those for whom you labor and toil will trample under foot the blessings you obtain for them, and sadden your after life with the cata logue of their follies and crimes, Leave them to their-taskmasters; fate wills it.'

McClellan, drew up a report, whieh was published by order of the United States Senate, and immedi ately took a foremost place among modern works on the art of war. The original report, in 4to, ha,s been long since out of. print, and, as might be ex pected, its author's present situation has made it greatly inquired for. Messrs. J. B. Lippincott At Co., of this city, have republished it in an Svo. volume of .500 pages, illustrated by numerm en. gravings, and young officers cannot fail to profit by the immense quantity of valuable information here conveyed. It opens with a sketch of the war in the Crimea, where the author arrived after the fall of the Malakoff, especially describing the siege and storming of Sebastopol. It then treats of European engineer troops ; of the French, Austrian, Prussian, and Sardinian infantry ; of the Russian army, in all its varieties of force ; and, finally, of European and United States cavalry, Concluding with an Ap pendix of 4 :Regulations for the Field Service of Cavalry in time of War." Even civilians may read this book with pleasure and profit, for it con veys the best as well as latest information respect ing the constitution, discipline, force, and character of the armies of Europe and the United States.

We are in eight miles of the Osage river. /he supposition is amongst the privates that we are a going to meet Ben McCulloch and then go to Jef ferson City, though I cannot tell whether that is so. or not. The weather has been 'wet for two or three days. It has made the army scarce of breadstuff on the account of the wagons being heavy loaded, and. could not travel as fast as the company, though, we have done tolerably well. We have plenty beef, no bacon, and have not had noae since we loft Losl?gtob. There is about 35,000 troops in tbie army. 21 is death On the citizens' property along- the road where we travel.

A. correspondent of the Cincinnati Times, writing from Camp Dick Robinson, under date of October 15, says : John J. Crittenden has returned here from the mountains.

An Amazonian Leader One of the features of the First Tennessee Regi ment is in the person of a brave and accomplished young lady of but eighteen tannings, and of _pre possessing appearance, named Sarah Taylor, of East Tennessee, who is the step-daughter of Captain Dowden, of the First Tennessee Regiment. Miss Taylor is an exile from her home, having joined the fortunes of her step-father and hgr witia dering companions, accompanying them in their perilous and dreary flight from their homes and es tates. Miss Taylor has formed a determination to share with her late companions the dangers and fa tigues of a military campaign. She has donned a neat blue chapeau, beneath which her long hair is fantastically arranged ; bearing at her side a highly finished regulation sword, and silver-mounted pis tols in her belt, all of which gives her a very neat and martial appearance. She is quite the idol of the Tennessee boys. They look upon her as a second Joan of Arc, believing WM victory and glory will perch upon the standards borne in the ranks favored by her presence. Miss Captain T. is all courage and skill. Raving become an adept in the sword exercise, and a sure shot with the pistol, she is de termined to lead in the van of the march, bearing her exiled and oppressed countrymen back to their homes, or, if failing, to offer up her own life's blood in the sacrifice.

The Battle on Santa Rose Islands A rebel account of tho battle at Santa Rosa Island, furnished to a Georgia paper, says that : The Zeuaves were taken almost completely by surprise, but as soon as they recovered they fought desperately; at times, however, they acted rather cowardly, but, upon the whole, gave us some pretty warm work.

They , saw rebel pickets an eighth of a mile this side of that place, on the Vienna road. While there, the pickets were drawn in for some purpose, and the Twenty-second men advanced close to the village. They saw about one half of a regiment of rebels, and no more. They were at first mistaken by in habitants for Southern soldiers, and were enlight ened as to the plans of the rebels, so far as was known to the citizens. It uses stated that Reinert gard and Johnston intended to wake no stand this side of Centreville, on the heights of which, however, if followed there, they would oppose the Union forces for a while, but, when pressed, would withdraw to their old position beyond Bull Ran. While conversing, the identity of our men was de tected, and they wore Anvil to retire in haste. They report no obstructions or barricades on the way.

CAMP GRIFF/Ni VA., Oct. 16, 1861 In my last I promised to give you sketches of cavalry scouting duty, with it& attendant adven tures. Imagine yourself, kind reader, living in a sub stantial wall tent, instead of- a omnfortable, well furnished brick house, havineos a carpet a velvet like tuft of grass ; the walls and ceiling mew-whit° in appearance, The buglerhaa sounded " tattoo," which is a signal for roll: call, at about 9 P. M. The roll having been called j .this- men are dismissed for the night, each man retirthg to his tent to pre pare for a night'a sloop, At ten minutes past 9 the " taps" are sounded, *dekko the signal for the extinguishing of lights, after which all those not on guard duty are supposed to be asleep. You have now retired for the night, tir9d frog your day's exertions, with the fond expectation of pass ing the night in quiet repose. But soon you are doomed to disappointment, an you are awakened by the ' , Assembly" calling up every man in camp. To arms, " is next sounded-, folleWild by the call of 64 To horse." In a minute all are astir. Each man springs tohiss feet, fastens his sabre and pistol about his waist,. and, seizing his saddle and bridle in his hand* &stew them upon his horse ; ' and in a few minutes 66 stands to horse," holding the bridle reins in his hands, awaiting the order to " mount."' At the proper command away speeds the dashing cavalry-soldier, going he knows not where, neither. knowing when he will return. Whispers pass along the column that the cowardly enemy have appeared in numbers, and fired in the still hour of the night upon our pickets. Every man is now eager toraeet them and inflietsummary punishment upon Seeesh for their murderous as Sault ; and, with thin Ealing every breast, away we dash.. approaching our pickets we ad vance more quietly, lest the enemy might be ap prised of our coming. Throwing out skirmishers, we advance step by step into the enelg'S Country. Soon we discover a number of their cavalry in the distance, and at once we advance upon them. Now is a most important moment, for soon we will be within shooting distance. At this point of our movement ell the ability of an officer is needed, in order to comprehend at a glance the nature of the country, its positions for defence, and, not least of all, the motives of the enemy's movements. If they advance to meet you, (which is seldom if ever done) yen may, with an amount of confidence, charge them ; but if they retreat or remain exposed without making any movement to meet us, you may then rest assured there is some trap laid for you. Then must you examine the ground more carefully; ciao the nature of the country, and what desirable positions it is possessed of for posting artillery or infantry by the rebels. They use their cavalry as decoy ducks, nothing else. They will not fight even when they are twenty to one, but endeavor, by posting artillery and infantry in well-selected positions, to lead you into an ambuscade. It was, in such a manner that your humble correspondent had a horse shot from under him on Sunday last. I went to our outer pickets- for the purpose of observing through my glass a quantity of rebel cavalry that had been within sight of our pickets throughout the entire day, without materially changing their positions I advanced cautiously beyond our pickets, and taking position in an open field, carefully swept the ground with my glass, and discovered at some distance from me about forty rebel cavalry ; but as they made no advance movement, I at once concluded that they were at one of their usual tricks. I now took a more careful ob servation of the military aspect of the surrounding country, and opined that in a hedge which inter vened between the rebel cavalry and myself would he a good position for them to 'pest Infantry. WI& my glass I examined the hedge, but was unable to d'scover any infantry. Having concluded my ob servation, I wheeled my horse to return to our pickets, (outside of which I had gone some NO yards,) and, as I did so, I was startled by the his sing sound of a bullet near me. My how started forward like one wild, appearing to be perfectly maddened. After going some denly plunged headlong to the ground, throwing me over his head and falling upon ma. ly horse instantly regained his feet, and snort ing with pain, (for I now discoveredleat he was hit in the left side,) ho started towards the rebels who had fired at sac from the hedge. With difficulty I regained my feet, (for the &NI of the, horse upon me had, for the moment, pasalyaed my right side,) and started After Py born in the hope of turning his head towards our pickets, but it wasall in vain, on and on he sped. Finding I could not recover my horse, and that I was nearing the enemy at each step, and not knowing from whence the shot CritdO, I Ookoluded to return to out pickets, and did so in double-quick time, infantry style.. Here I am all safe and whole ; and, with the exception of some braises, and the loss of my horse, saddle, bri dle, and little notions in the yooketa of my saddle, in pretty good spirits.

[Correspondence of the Press.] HEADQUARTERS CAMERON• LIGHT GUARD, Alexandria, Va.,.00t. 17,,1861: Again it becomes a pleasure and duty to put the friende of the regiment in communication: with . their soldier relatives. The regiment is now garrisoning ,the city, and our Colonel is in complete control. The various companies are distributed to different. points. The eenspardesi under the akth of Copia. Myers and Dunham are in charge of. Fort Ellsworth, almost two miles out of the city. Capt. Belsterling'seens pany is in charge of the slave-pen. . Capt. Griffiths is provost marshal of the City ; and a more desolate, barren town it would ha JAR cult to find. A large proportion. .of the. , better class of the inhabitants, being Secessionists, have vacated their pleasant homes, and , found . twitters in a more congenial atmosphere.. Of those left behind, perhaps the most rabid Se cessionists are the females.- Shielded by their sex, the passing soldier runs a blockade of hisses, taunts, and bitter invectives.. The field and otaffilfind comfortable %r enters he the vacated premises of rebel . citizens, whilst the regimental hospital is located.in in. a. brisk house`on the outer edge of the town. The most rigid rules are laid down by tha Colonel, and, aa far so the writer'S chin:yr - Mien. gees, are ea rigidly observed in regard. to the- inviolability of the property thus accidentally. placed in our charge. The health of ; the , regiment is. goedi and it is a source of lively soildfacilvo texernomber that since the inception of the, organization to the present, the regiment has not lota. man.from sickness or acoi dent.

NIVNSON'S HILL, } October 18, We startedifrom Bailey's Crom-Roads on Sunday morning last, for• picket duty on Mason's Hill. As we approached the hill we saw the earth all turned up, as-though an attempt had been made to throw up fortificaituons. On drawing nearer, how ever, we perceived that it had been occasioned by recent ploughing. A farmer, residing in the neighborhood, informed us that the rebels never received any provisim but herrings, which arrived by the barrel ; and consequently that his hen-roost suffered very se verely. The rebels, before their departure (he farther informed us), bitterly cursed the Sixty-ninth mit Wire Zonave regiments of liew - York, as the de.. stroyers of all their best cavalry. The Eighth South Carolina regiment, which went to Manassas with 1,100 men, returned homo with only 235.
